History of regulatory activities started in 1990’s by various debris mitigation standards in each national space agencies in the world, and followed by international guidelines in 2000’s. In 2010's, the International Standardizing Organization (ISO) and other national regulation may effect on the international trading market. Domestically in Japan, so-called the National Space Act requires the set of debris mitigation activities generally applied in design and operation of launch vehicles and spacecraft. More detailed regulatory requirements will be set in near future. On the other hand, Debris issue has been linked to the space traffic management and the national security. This is because the unfortunate situation triggered by lack of transparency and confidence building may bring about the significant degradation of orbital environment. The first edition of report of the working group of the “UN Long-Term Sustainability of Space Activities”, and “international Code of Conduct for space activities” will force to strengthen these tendency. This presentation introduce these situation. And also introduce document system in JAXA to limit the debris generation and support design and operation work.
